Faith Proclaimed in All the World
Pastor Hamilton
What God provides must be received by faith. What is received by faith must be announced in faithfulness. Only as this gospel is proclaimed and the Lord opens the eyes of the lost are people converted. The power is not in our presentation, but in our Savior.
The Real Deal
Pastor Hamilton
Satan not only tried to attack with threats from outside the church, but from corruption from within. Persecution could scatter a community of believers, but wrong teaching or values could fracture an assembly. The purity of the church is important to God.
Right Response to Wrong Treatment
Pastor Hamilton
When persecuted, the church gathers with the company of saints (v. 23) and gives thanks to the God who is working through it all (vv. 24–31).
The Ugly Side of Religious Unbelief
Pastor Hamilton
The greatest opposition you will face in giving the gospel may not be from secular sources, but from those who are devoted to a dead religion. This chapter tells Christ’s body what they can expect and how they are to respond.
The Exuberant Witness
Pastor Hamilton
The same Jesus the Jews delivered to die was raised by the Almighty and must be believed by every sinner.
Public Speaking (about Christ)
Pastor Hamilton
Like Peter, we must know who we are witnessing to, Who we are witnessing of, and what the goal of this witnessing is.
Promise Fulfilled
Pastor Hamilton
Jesus was launching the next step in his eternal plan, the Church for which he died. He did this in the heart of Jewish territory, Jerusalem, that they might marvel at his plan. God made a glorious statement at Pentecost. The Lord was alive and working through his Spirit in his Church!
This Jesus. . .
Pastor Hamilton
Jesus appeared to his disciples and taught them about their upcoming mission. Jesus also promised to return, answering their question about the timing of his kingdom.
Nailing It Down
Pastor Hamilton
This chapter provides dads with something to teach, and children with something to learn. The greatest lesson a father can teach is how to be content with Christ and how to pursue his will.
